Trump administration fails to secure indictment against sandwich thrower

[Delldude]

Cool. So he can be prosecuted for perjury then.

Did the sandwich hit the officer?

 

[Delldude]

You pointed out, Flynn didn't break any law.
So talking to the FBI would be without the possibility of being charged with a crime. And hence Flynn didn't need a lawyer.

It's no different than when you would need a lawyer for an IRS audit, if all your income, expenses and deductions are legitimate and documented.

" Do I need a lawyer ''

No........

 

[Rawley]

Actually the evidence against him, the video, was exculpatory.
The federal officer claimed the sandwich struck him hard enough, that it literally exploded on impact.

The video showed the sandwich remained fully wrapped and intact, after hitting the officer.

Hardly "so hard it literally exploded" claimed by the officer.

Kudos Ratty 1,000%

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Video shows it all.

I know, that's why the prosecution lost.

And why everyone is laughing at you.

 

[meaner gene]

Yet overwhelmingly proved assault on a federal officer.

Actually the opposite. The video showed the officer lied about how hard the sandwich hit him. That may have disqualified him as a witness.
And the jury would have been aware of the officers claim of an assault.

Jury nullification........

Did the sandwich hit the officer?

It did not explode as he testified.

Nice try......how hard it hit...... it's still assault.

 

[Delldude]

It did not explode as he testified.

So you admit it hit the officer?

That's assault.

 

[meaner gene]

Cool. So he can be prosecuted for perjury then.

Not if the DOJ protects him.

But it would make him useless as a witness, since the defense would get to cross examine him, and impeach his testimony.

At the end of your bullshit, Dunn still assaulted the officer.

Bullshit.

Misdemeanor assault is the unlawful attempt or threat to cause physical harm to another person, without using a deadly weapon and without causing serious bodily injury. It typically involves lower-level threats or minor physical contact, such as shoving someone or attempting to strike them and missing. The exact definition can vary by jurisdiction, but generally, it involves an action that causes another person to fear they are about to be harmed.

misdemeanor assault - it involves an action that causes another person to fear they are about to be harmed.

Federal officer in body armor, vs a sandwich.

I doubt he feared he would be harmed.

Which is a requirement, and why he claimed the sandwich literally exploded when it hit him.

 

[Delldude]

The exact definition can vary by jurisdiction, but generally, it involves an action that causes another person to fear they are about to be harmed.

In Washington D.C., the statute for misdemeanor assault, specifically simple assault, is found in D.C. Code § 22-404. It defines the crime as any unlawful assault or threatened assault in a menacing manner, which can include attempted battery (intending to use or having the apparent ability to use force) or intending to frighten (threatening an act with the ability to injure). The maximum penalties for simple assault are 180 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.



The officer was attacked, did he fear he was about to be harmed?

Already answered.

So he was assaulted.

 

[Delldude]

Already answered.

Nope...direct quote.

 

[Marener]

So you admit it hit the officer?

So you admit it didn’t explode?

That’s perjury.

The jury determined it wasn’t assault.

 

[meaner gene]

So he was assaulted.

Assault requires the victim fear harm.
The officer was in body armor, and believed that made him practically invincible.

Dunn was captured on a widely shared video berating officers as “fascists” before throwing a sub-style sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent on duty in a nightlife neighborhood on August 10. The 23-year veteran agent, Gregory Lairmore, testified during the trial that the incident generated a whiff of mustard and left onions hanging from the antenna of his police radio.

A lawyer for Dunn, Sabrina Shroff, argued the sandwich throw was a harmless gesture of frustration and was not capable of injuring agents clad in ballistic vests.
